Explore Knowledge Academy is a charter elementary school in Las Vegas, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. It operates under the Clark County School District's charter authorization but functions independently from the district's zoned school assignments, giving families a public-school alternative on Mountain Vista Street.
The enrollment is moderate for an elementary campus, with students spread fairly evenly across kindergarten through fifth grade. Though the school lists pre-kindergarten in its grade span, no pre-kindergarten enrollment was reported in the current data. The student body is majority Hispanic, with White students and students of two or more races forming the next largest groups. Asian, Black, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students make up smaller shares. Several data points that would help complete the picture were not available, including free or reduced-price lunch rates, English learner status, and students with individualized education programs. A parent wanting to understand the school's economic and special-needs profile would need to ask the school directly.
State assessment results for the most recent year paint a mixed academic picture. English language arts is the clear strength, with a majority of tested students scoring proficient or above, a result that stands well for an elementary charter. Math proficiency is lower, with fewer than half of students reaching the proficient threshold. Science results are lower still, though the number of students tested in science is far smaller because only certain elementary grades take the science exam. Participation rates were strong across all three subjects. No average scale scores were reported, and no multi-year trend data was available, so families cannot gauge from this data whether performance is improving, declining, or holding steady over time.
The school does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate, no advanced coursework data, and no career or dual-credit pathway information to report. Program offerings, extracurriculars, and curriculum specifics were not included in the available data. The same gap applies to school environment details like staffing ratios, attendance patterns, discipline data, and any specialized program access. Families looking into these areas should contact the school or visit its website directly.
The surrounding housing market offers a somewhat more affordable entry point than the Nevada average, with home values in this zip code running below the state benchmark though above the national one. Values have softened modestly over the past year, and rents have remained fairly stable. For families weighing whether to buy or rent near the school, renting comes in meaningfully cheaper per month than owning at current mortgage rates, which may factor into relocation decisions. The broader economic context includes a national unemployment rate that has held steady and median household income that has risen gradually in recent years.
Information about the Clark County School District's recent policy or curriculum changes was searched but returned little of parent-relevant substance. Publicly reported results focused on county government and geography rather than district-level initiatives, budget decisions, or academic program shifts. No neighbor comparison data was provided for this school, so it cannot be positioned directly against nearby campuses.
For a family weighing Explore Knowledge Academy, the strongest signal in the data is the ELA performance, which suggests the school is doing solid work in reading and writing. The math and science results are softer, and a parent may want to look into how the school addresses those subjects. The missing demographic and program data means the picture is incomplete, and filling those gaps with a direct conversation with the school would help clarify whether this is the right fit.
